Horrid nappy rash, best way to deal with it

Poor little love.

Metanium ointment worked really well for bad nappy rash for DS, much better and quicker than sudocream. Air drying her bottom too if you dare.

Ever tried cloth nappies? My dd is in terrys and has never had nappy rash.

I'd second the metanium - horrible yellow stuff though it is. It was the only thing that worked for my ds's nappy rash after a nasty bout of diarrhea. You have to put it on really thinly. Breast milk also helped surprisingly if that's an option.

clean her bum thoroughly and put raw egg white over the rash. it really works and very quickly too air dry her bum aswell and maybe have a towel under her for accidents. Has the D&V settled down??

i hope she is better soon and her rash clears up

Metanium does the trick! Just in case you had any doubts.

Matanium never worked on our dd's terrible nappy rash, in fact I think it made it worse. Bepanthen is a super cream, slather loads on it'll be clear in the morning, I swear by it now.

Let her lie without a nappy as much as you can too

Dry the bum and then smear on a thick layer of pet.jelly /vaseline..its a barrier but it also soothes..worked a treat on my DDs bum

I would definitely agree with the raw egg white if it is very bad. It works very quickly and amazingly well.

Bepanthen didn't work for my DS, Kamilosan (has camomile in) worked wonders. Camomile really soothes skin so you could use a camomile tea solution on flannels to clean for a while. Oh yeah, and no wipes!!!

Another vote for Metanium here (sparingly). DS1 suffered extreme nappy rash from ezcema that required Dr's help, but what they prescribed wasn't a patch on Metanium. It was also much safer and gentler than their Cortisone (yikes!). Live and learn...

Are you sure it isn't thrush. DD had it as a baby and we had to get an antifungal cream from the GP can't remember what though.

Another one in the Bepanthen camp here, tried all the others but that was the only one that cleared up very sore skin

Metanium is brilliant,but you could also try a total barrier cream like Siopel which is fine too

Has your dd had any egg by mouth yet ? My ds was horribly sensitive to egg even if he touched it. Please do a tiny amount on her skin first.
